    Abstract: Methods and system are disclosed that generate configurable visual work instructions. In one aspect, information to assemble multiple variants of a product is compiled, determined by multiple routing operations and allocation of multiple components of the product to the multiple routing operations. A sequence of instructions to assemble the multiple variants of the product to verify an order of the multiple routing operations and the allocation of the components to the multiple operations may be simulated. Upon verification, a superset of visual work instructions corresponding to the sequence of instructions to assemble the multiple variants of the product may be generated. Upon receiving a request to assemble a desired variant of the product, a configuration including attributes associated with the desired variant of the product may be generated. Based on the configuration, the superset of visual work instructions may be reduced to a subset of visual work instructions.
